The recycle bin contents are displayed in a similar way to ordinary folders.

Because the files in the recycle bin are not directly accessible a number of the ordinary chart facilities are not available. You can not open, delete or show properties on items in the bin. To restore files from the bin please activate Windows Explorer.

The recycle bin contents are activated by double clicking on the Recycle Bin icon in Disk view mode or you can activate it directly from Windows® Explorer by selecting the Recycle Bin and selecting Disk Space Chart from the right mouse button click menu.

The chart and list operate in the same way as for an ordinary folder. Only those files queued for the current disk drive are displayed.

Refresh

Press the Refresh button to update the usage display (for example when you empty the recycle bin). For improved performance Space Chart keeps statistics on the last few folders that have been displayed, Refresh will clear the stored information and cause it to re-scan and re-display the current folder.

Save As

Press the Save As button to save the information displayed to a file. The information is saved in CSV format, which can be read by programs such Microsoft® Excel®.

Close
